Donald Trump has launched strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, promising to use “overwhelming lethal force” against the group until they agreed to end their attacks on shipping assets.
Writing on his Truth Social platform, the US President wrote: “Your time is up, and your attacks must stop, starting today. If they don’t, hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before,” Trump said in a statement on Truth Social, his social media site.
“I have ordered the US military today to launch a decisive and powerful military operation against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen,” Trump added.
“We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective.”

He added that this had cost “billions of dollars” and put lives at risk.
